ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE
1.1Measurement
Measurement is a process or system used to determine the
quantitative value of a certain test in learning.
This quantitative value is usually expressed in a fixed number.
Measurement covers all aspects of testing, including the use of
ordinal scale or interval scale to determine the position and
achievement of pupils in the class or among classes.
Ordinary scale is a measuring instrument use to rank pupils’ grades
or positions according to the marks obtain in certain test.
Interval scale which contains unit of mark with the same weightage
in its value is not only used to determine pupils’ performance and
achievement.
1.1Evaluation
Evaluation is defined as processes to determine obtains and provide
useful information so as to make objective consideration for follow
up action (D. Stufflebeam, 1971).
Evaluation is system or process which covers activities to collect
information relating to strategy of teaching learning activities and
to analysis and interpretation of result, with the aim to take
appropriate follow up action
Evaluation have 5 stages which is
i. Test preparation
ii. Test implementation
iii. Assessment and measurement
iv. Analysis of result
v. Interpretation and follow up action

1.2Construct items/questions.
Referring the formulated Test Blue Prints, teacher can set the test questions,
usually prepared in either the form of subjective questions or objective items.
1.3Check items/questions.
After setting the items/questions, the teacher must check them carefully so that
they do not contain any mistake before the test administered. Teacher can
check the items based on format, content and language used during the
process of test construction. The teacher must to ensure that instructions given
are clear and simple to understand, time allocated is reasonable and the
arrangement of items are from easy to difficult and in a sequential order
according to the pre determined Test Blue Print.
1.1.2 Coordination
Collecting the candidates’ answer scripts according to their index’s
numbers, including those unused writing papers. All the answer scripts
must be checked to ensure that the number of scripts collected is the
same as the number of the candidates.

A. REFLECTION
10 Focused on Issues
I learned the various methods of testing and evaluation of this assignment. My first task is to
do some research about testing and evaluation. After I was finishing study the items from
this topic I was preparing my blue print test from the test specification table or JPU. From
this part I have learned how to provide the question by referring the JPU. I was deciding
what types of skills that I want to test of my students. From the Taxonomy Blooms’ skill level,
I can identify the question which is suitable with my student’s levels. The JPU help me to
divide the questions test following the skill and difficulty level of the questions. After that,
I chose the questions from various sources such as School Bank question, references book
and exercise book that will be used during the test. In this test I choose four skills which are
knowledge, comprehension, application and evaluation.
20 Analysis Issues
2.1Strength
I have been done this test of students in Form1. There are 54 students in this class,
but two of them not attend to school. The test result shows 13 of the student was
getting grade A which is they have more than 80 percent correct answer from the
test given. Only three students not pass in this test. From the result, I have do
analysis to find the difficulty index and discrimination index of the questions. I found
76 percent of indicates were achieving 0.3 to 0.8 index value. It is means the
question is suitable for test. 52 percents of test items have positive discrimination
high which is the items is very suitable and can be accepted.
In addition, I found the value of mean, median and mode have the same value which
is 63. It is shows the question the achievement or performance of the students is
varied and heterogeneous.
2.2Weakness
There are some of the questions are too easy and too difficult.
30 Implementation
I will make improvements at the time of the test questions will come. The selection of an
appropriate question to be given to students is important to ensure that all tests carried
out effectively.
